Is anyone here so hardcore that they don’t even bother with mainstream social media? If its not on Lemmy or Mastodon it must not be important? Anyone that hardcore?

    I haven’t browsed Reddit since the creation of my Lemmy account (~2years ago); though I’ve wound up viewing a Reddit thread or two via a google search on rare occasion. Beyond those two, the only other ‘social media’ I’ve used in at least a decade is Youtube.

    Reddit killed third party apps, and so they killed my engagement with them. Why go back?

    I didn’t leave Reddit, Reddit disabled the app I used to access it for over 10 years when they disabled API access. Figured they didn’t want or need my contributions anymore.

    I switched to lemmy about two years ago and went almost cold turkey. There was one community on reddit that I returned to a couple of times in the first few weeks, but even that stopped as it just wasn’t worth it. I have been to reddit a few times since, but only when trying to solve a problem and reddit comes up as a search result, and only after trying other sources first.

    I only use Lemmy since the reddit API Fuck up.

    Sometimes, if I am looking for information, I visit reddit, but I treat it like any other random forum I look up something, take the info and fuck off again.

    I use YouTube, if you wanna count that. I don’t comment there and use Newpipe or PipePipe, so only consuming and no participation there too.

    I haven’t used any other social media, like Facebook or Instagram, so nothing hardcore for me in just continuing not to do so.

    Occasionally I’ll hit up a reddit result if I’m doing a search looking for an answer to a specific question. But I never browse it since the 3rd party apps stopped working.

    Lemmy is the only one I check daily. I don’t bother with reddit unless I’m using a search engine and can’t find the answer I’m looking for. Even then, reddit’s not all that great anymore since a huge chunk of the user base deleted all their shit and left.

    I wouldn’t consider myself hardcore for it, but yeah I only use Lemmy. Nothing else lol

    Used to use reddit until they pulled their bullshit with 3rd party apps.

    Edit: another answer made me reconsider what it means to “use” reddit, so yeah if I’m searching for information on Google or something and there’s an answer on Reddit I’ll read it, but I don’t log in or communicate on there at all.

    Lemmy only. Reddit has become some strange mix of Quora and X or something like that at this point.

    Is this considered “hardcore”? After the mobile apps bit the dust I left and never looked back. I don’t like meta stuff because of privacy concerns. Fediverse only for me

    I only visit Reddit is search results take me there for a specific reason. Otherwise, I’m hardcore as fuck

    There is plenty to engage with here. I don’t miss Reddit, other than a couple of local groups that have no fedi equivalents, yet. But not enough to go back.
